3 Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Appendix 1 shows the list of the master trainers trained in sessions under review. These trained professionals will in turn train the trainer of trainers (TOT) in their respective countries. Ultimately the trainer-of trainers will guide and train the farmers in the compliance of the prevailing certification standards. 3.0 TRAINING OUTCOMES This training activity delivered thirty-nine (39) master trainers under the project on building capacity for coffee certification and verification in the Eastern African region. This entails that respective countries in the project have been empowered with human expertise for certification and/or verification in the various certification standards prevalent in the region. This is an achievement of the objective of the project which entails building capacity within the EAFCA region for good agricultural and sustainability practices for socially acceptable, environmentally friendly and economically successful coffee production among producers through training of farmers to build certification. All master trainers were awarded with certificates as reflected in Appendix CONCLUSIONS The undertaking of the training for master trainers is a significant milestone in the fulfillment of the project activities on the project network diagram. With the team of master trainers in place, the in-country training activities of trainer-of-trainers and farmers in the country will be rolled out effectively. This rolled out will be done in sequence starting with countries that are more prepared in the implementation process. On the other hand, the next category of professionals to be trained will be the certification auditors / verifiers. This activity will be undertaken in four (4) groups of nine (9) persons, representing the nine project countries. This approach is undertaken in line with the complex requirements of the auditors training programme. An identified certification body has been contracted to undertake this activity.
